Jaclyn Smith discusses marriage and fashion

Actress Jaclyn Smith has shared details regarding her long-term marriage to Brad Allen, revealing that the couple lived separately for 17 years. During an appearance on The Drew Barrymore Show, Smith explained that the arrangement was necessitated by her husband's career travel to cities like Houston and Chicago, while she remained home to care for their children.

Smith noted that the distance helped keep their relationship fresh and ensured they made the most of their time together. She also touched upon the difficulties of managing such a dynamic while raising children.

In addition to personal reflections, Smith has recently drawn attention for her fashion choices. She wore a seafoam green Monique Lhuillier gown, featuring feathers and sequins, to her son Gaston Richmond's wedding in July 2023. Smith later repeated the ensemble at the 2026 Emmy Awards, addressing critics of her decision to wear a previously worn outfit by expressing her fondness for the color and the garment.
